It is a thing most wonderful

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:10 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heaven, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true; he chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved him not. 3 I cannot tell how he could love a child so weak and full of sin; his love must be most wonderful, if he could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in his heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know his love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord! O light the flame within my heart, and I will love thee more and more, until I see thee as thou art. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD
